Fake THIS IS ROCK 'N' ROLL Playlist: Rock 'n' Roll Crushes

This Is Rock 'n' Roll Radio with Dana & Carl is simply too large a concept to be neatly contained within a mere three-hour weekly time slot. Hence these occasional fake TIRnRR playlists, detailing shows we're never really going to do...but could.


This one's pretty simple, and VERY pretty. Today's fake playlist presents a bunch of records featuring female singers who turned my infatuated li'l noggin. Yes, let's cast the TIRnRR spotlight on just a few of my many ROCK 'N' ROLL CRUSHES!

Still, a proper playlist requires more than good looks. Each of these tracks is a worthy gem on its own merit, 'cause ya can't hear pheromones on the radio anyway. It's time to turn it on and turn it UP. Let's hear from some of my rock 'n' roll crushes.

This Is Rock 'n' Roll Radio with Dana & Carl--y'know, the real one--airs Sunday nights from 9 to Midnight Eastern, on the air in Syracuse at SPARK! WSPJ 103.3 and 93.7 FM, and on the web at westcottradio.org You can read all about this show's long and weird history here: Boppin' The Whole Friggin' Planet (The History Of THIS IS ROCK 'N' ROLL RADIO). TAX DEDUCTIBLE DONATIONS are always welcome.

The many fine This Is Rock 'n' Roll Radio compilation albums are still available, each full of that rockin' pop sound you crave. A portion of all sales benefit our perpetually cash-strapped community radio project:

Volume 1: download
Volume 2: CD or download
Volume 3: download
Volume 4: CD or download
